In describing this-invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawingin' which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is an enlarged sectional view 'of y this drawerlhandle,the continuous portion et the drawer :being alsoshown.` f i Figure 2 is asectional view ofthe body of the knob ory handle.y l

Figures 3 `and y4 are `elevations,respective ly, of the outer and inner bushings.

Figure 5 is a view similar-to Figure -l,

parts being omitted showing the outer bushing as split by the inner bushing inward l to firmly attach the bushings to the knob or y handle.

This drawer handle comprises a body :or

lmob having i a recess V2 through its',` rear" face, an outer sleeve forV bushingy andan ,f

inner bushing, the formerv drive fitting the recess and the latter 'drive f1tting'the` former, the inner ybushing having means l for expanding the outer bushing when the bushings are kdriven into the recess.

vl designates the body or handle, and 2 the recess which is preferably .cylindrical and .which opens through lthe rear face 'ot the body' or knob and has a bottom 3.A The knob is preferably wood or v woodcornposition. 4 isthevouter sleeve or bushing which ispreferably of wood and 5 is the inner bushing which is metal, the outer bushing 4 `drive ittingv the recess 2 and the inner bushing 3 drive fitting within the sleeve 4 and having means, as an enlargement or head 6l at its inner end which embeds in the innerl end of the sleeve 4 when these yparts 4 and 5 are driven into the recess 2, and the metal bushing or the head thereof thrust against the bottom 3. The head 6 is preferably vnonv circular and is usually angular, square yor hexagonal.

The inner bushing 5 is irst inserted part way into the sleeve 4 and then the *sleeveI the knob of alsv 1923. seriairb. 636,468.`

4, inserted ,apart way jin the. recess 2. i The "body `.l i with these Aparts `so arranged is@ then yplaced-under apress and the partsd4 and '5` :driven into therecess 2. When` the head 6, engagesthe bottom, of the'` recess 2', its i i zinwardmovement; isvlimitedland, as theinward movement-ofthe sleeve 4continues ,l the head 6 is embedded in thefinner end of thel sleeve 4, so that 'the` sleeve4 isz split and sosnuglyffltte'd yinto the Arecess ythat v.it Iis practically integral with the body 1. r Usu'` ally glue is placed in the recess or on'the y sleeve'before the parts are driven into/the recess 2. y i

i The inner bushing 5 formed with a.y

threaded passage for: receiving av screw 7 extending through' @the Itront wall 8 `of the threading into the threaded passage 'of the sleeve .or bushing `5.-

By my invention,

'ings to Whichthe screw 6 is attached.y What Ir claim isz,V i

`l. A. drawer khandle comprising formed with a recess, a r bushing substantially fitting the recess, al second bushing y handles or .knobs can be firmly attached to the drawersof other articles, so thatthey cannot work loose. nor ca'nfthe `knobs becomevloose from the bush- `drawer "from the inner sidey thereof andk f .afbody within the lirstbushing,` they lirst bushing@` g having a drivefit in the-recess throughout f wthe length of the bushing and the second bushing havingfa drive fit within 4the* rst `bushing.throughout the length of the second bushing, the second bushing -havinga noncircularV head embedded in the first bushing.- 2. A drawer handle comprising awoodrbody having arecess;opening-.through its rear face, a woodibushing and 4a metal bushing within the wood bushing, the wood bushing drive ittingthe recess and the met` v albushing drive fitting withinl the wood bushing having means for splitting the'wood Vbushingwhen the bushingsv are located'in lthe recess.

3. A drawer handle comprising-a body formed with a cylindricalV recess opening through-its rear face, a cylindrical bushing andan inner bushing within theformer bushing, 'the first mentioned" bushing drive Vfitting therecess` and the inner .bushing i `drive fitting the outer bushing and having i* i 'a head at itsinner end embedded in the outer bushing when ,the bushingsgengage fthebottorn'othe recess. i kf 7 .4. A drawer handle comprisinga wood i body having a recess opening through its rear facea split Wood bushing and a metal bushing Within the Wood bushing, the Wood bushing drive tting the recess and the nietal bushing drive fitting Within the Wood bushing and having a head in its inner end embedded in the Wood bushing.

5. A drawer handle comprising a hodf)7 :termed With a cylindrical recess opening through its rear face, a cylindrical bushing andv an inner hu-'shing Within the -ormer bushing, the 'irst mentioned hushing drive fitting the recess and the inner hushing Adrive tting the outer bushing and having an angular head at its 'innerv end Aembedded `in 'thel outer bushing.y

6 A drawer handle comprising a Wood 'body having a recess opening through the rear face, a Wood bushing and a metal bushing Within the Wood bushing, the Wood bushing drive fitting the recess and the metal bushing drive fitting Within the Wood bushing` having Inevans for `splitting the Wood bushing When the bushings approach the bottom of the recess, the metal bushing having fa threaded passage for receiving an attachingscrew.

1nv testimony' whereof, Ihave hereunto signed any naine, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga andfState of New York, this 30th day of April, 1923. A
